Rangers are NOT trading Lundqvist for a rental.

Pretty fair value on the trades. But you're right about Dillon....it's his 3.9m cap next season is a problem for most contending teams who almost all don't have cap.

My assumption was that such a deal would include a promise that Copp would have agreed to sign on afterwards. I picked Lundkvist mostly cause he fits a Jets need, and after searching it looked like he was the oddman out on the Rangers D. What kind of return would you want for him?



yeah, I was considering adding some retention to it, and maybe thats something that could happen, but my understanding (which may be way off) is that retained cap has to be a flat amount for the contracts duration? Realistically, the Jets could retain some this year and be fine, but if they had to commit to retaining that amount for the rest of his contract that would be unfortunate.

He would probably sign there.

I think Statsny is with a 2nd and Dillon worth a pick and a player. Framework of all 3 deals makes sense tho.

The New York and Minnesota trades look fair, but there is no reason for the Jets to overpay for Tippett. For a fair price, Tippett is worth a look, but not at the cost of a top 4 defenseman.

They can't afford to sign him.

What would you consider to be a fair price?

I love Tippet <> Copp swap in some sort of way. Tippet could be pretty useful on the Jets

3rd or so round pick. He hasn't done anything to be worth more.
